Understanding Kingdom Principles

The message of the constitution or (Bible) is about a king, a kingdom and His royal offspring. Therefore it is imperative, crucial and necessary that we all understand the concepts of kingdoms so that we can better appreciate the good news brought to earth by our Lord and Creator.

All true kingdoms contain the same characteristics and components. Here are concepts and principles of Kingdoms Dr. Myles Munroe laid out in his book, Rediscovering the Kingdom.

1. The Kingdom Principle of Kings: The King is the central component of a kingdom and embodies the essence of the kingdom. The king is the ultimate source of authority in the kingdom and through this authority establishes the kingdom. The sovereignty of the king is inherent in his royal authority. Here are some unique qualities about a king:

a. A king is never voted into powerb. A king's authority is by birthrightc. A king can not be voted out of powerd. A king's word is law in his territorye. A king personally owns everything in his domainf. A decree of the king is unchangingg. The king chooses who will be a citizen of his kingdomh. The king embodies the government of his kingdomi. The presence of the king is the presence of his entire kingdom authorityj. The king measures his wealth by the wealth of his propertyk. The home of a king expresses his nature, andl. The name of the king is the essence of his power.

Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. (Matthew 18:23)

Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king is coming to you, lowly and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. (Matthew 21:5)

The Kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son. (Matthew 22:2)

Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a King then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause was I born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." (John 18:37)

Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (I Timothy 1:17)

These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen and faithful. (Revelation 17:14)
